MN/WI GTG March14th

So who is interested? What activities do you want to see or try. You can also bring friends-if you have any!!

I want to try a Woodbine Firewood Processor! Running a 372XP would be fun too, or maybe a wood splitter that is faster than a 30 second splitting cycle.

Where in Wisconsin?Is it a one day event?

Grantsburg is about an hour north if Mpls/Stpaul.
I was thinking one day- depends on what guys want. I'm open to ideas.

Are they better than a Blockbuster?


I would love to run up but Grantsburg is one long haul. March is a terrible busy month. If the weather is right we will be in the field by then.

I'll try to get up there. If you can scrounge up a tractor, I can bring the old splitter up - save some big knotty stuff. 40HP is plenty, but I have stalled the motor on a WC Allis and H Farmall with it before.

Edit - bikerdude - this is about a 15 second cycle, can probably do 12 running WOT, but I usually run at about 3/4 throttle.

I want to see it stall our John Deere 4430!:jawdrop:

I do have access to a Timberwolf splitter for us to play with.

I'm probably exaggerating the lack of speed of my splitter a bit but man it seems slow! I'll have to time it tomorrow in some elm rounds.

March 14th? We might be baling hay by then!

I thought it was there but I had to ask.I am there,if it does happen what can I bring as far as food and beverages.I would like to feel the difference between round and square file chain in some wood.Maybe if someone has one would like to make a couple cuts with a 660 or 880or would like to see a bikini clad female utilize one.

I might be able to make it up with a few big saws (meaning as many as I can put in the back of my Ranger). Keep us posted of times & place.

I said 40hp, not 140! Seriously, though, do you have 1000 rpm shaft on it? I would love to see what the improvement on cycle time would be running it at 750 rpm or so compared to my usual 400-500. I should be able to come up with a 1000-540 adapter.

We'd have to get an awful lot of Global Warming. Maybe we can invite Al Gore to the GTG!!!!

Keep me in this thread. I am in Saint Paul, MN and if I can make it I will.

We'd be glad to have ya!!

Thanks! Marked in my calendar and hope to make MVP by then.

Don't have a lot of fancy saws, but can bring some food.

Philbert

Might show......

I would like to go.......how long does something like this last? Might be interested in car/truck pooling.

It would be fun to try different types of chain on the same size saw in the same wood.

Another idea would be 2 saws one with a muffler mod along side a stock one.

Have you ever had a chainsaw carver come in and give hands on carving 101? BYOW WYOS.

Chaingrinders try the different price points/quality levels.
